I make a lot of small theatrical paper things in my studio—mini stages, character scenes and fold-flat wonders that travel in the post. Over the years I’ve learned that the charming thing about a theatre that folds flat is also its greatest design challenge: it must be perfectly cooperative...

I’ve been photographing tiny things for years — tiny sculptures, paper dioramas and illustration details — and one persistent frustration is lighting. Standard lamps are bulky, expensive or overkill for small setups. I wanted something cheap,...
French school culture has fascinated educators, parents, and students across the world for decades. It is often seen as a blend of intellectual rigor, strong structure, cultural depth, and a clear respect for learning. While every country has its...
I love making tiny worlds that feel alive, and one trick I return to again and again is creating realistic water ripples without reaching for resin. Resin is wonderful, but it can be messy, smelly and intimidating — especially when you want to...
If you want a tiny, delightful flipbook that fits in a postcard slot and flips like a charm, you don’t need a full studio of supplies. I’ve made dozens of pocket-sized flipbooks that read smoothly using only three core materials: paper (thin for...

I love making tiny theatrical objects — things that ask you to lean in, tip the light, and find a small surprise. This postcard-sized optical peep show is one of my favourite pocket-scale projects: it’s quick to make, uses inexpensive materials,...

I love tiny optical tricks that make people do a double-take — a simple flip image on a postcard feels like magic you can hold. In this post I’ll show you how to design a one-sheet lenticular illusion for a postcard using ordinary household inks...
I’ve been obsessed with small mechanical tricks for as long as I can remember — the kind of thing that fits in your hand and transforms a simple sketch into a tiny world. This pocket-sized parallax viewer is one of my favourite make-at-home...
